We actually have an Ebay and Etsy store front, we have been selling them for months now. We are ramping up production at the moment, just bought a much larger cooler. Message me if you are interested. We can also help if you have questions on raising them, we finally have it down to a science.

The overall quality of live cultures from Josh's hasn't been good for some years, and progressively gets worse. I have most experience with their insect cultures, and they're not good -- really skimpy, pests, not prepared in a manner that will survive shipping.
I only bought whiteworms from them once, and there were very few worms in the culture (I wasn't good enough at raising them to ever harvest much at all).

Sad, but good to know - I haven't used them myself, but I have heard a lot of good things about them before from multiple groups. Unfortunate to hear their quality has declined.

They're resting on their laurels in a big way lately. I get the impression they're building up their business in the hopes of selling it (Bertram, Central -- are you listening?) -- they've really lost the focus on frogs, and so kind of aren't really doing anything particularly well.
The pests in cultures thing is pretty long-standing, though; it is pretty challenging to keep cultures clean when you're doing a million of them and then also trying to compete on price.

man that sucks, hopefully i can get it going. i'll keep everyone posted.
seems that way. it's my 1st WW culture, I got pull in the the big amount of 16oz vs smaller amounts of other ebay/esty sellers. I think they might have just shipped out empty coconut coir. I did not even find dead worms what to speak of live ones.
funny you should say that there was a BRS flyer in the box, so maybe there are already owned by them??
anyway I am very disappointed with the culture so far.
I'll keep every one posted on what happens.

Something's going on...
Josh's had been offering live fish for a couple years, up until recently when they stopped. They're definitely trying to find their way in to the aquatics market (they've done some of this with reptiles, where they're actually pretty successful at undercutting hobby breeders with the handful of species they offer).
